Penn State redshirt junior LB Ben Kline suffered a torn Achilles tendon during a summer workout, according to Sean Fitz.

Like other previous Penn State linebackers, this is not Kline's first injury. He only played in six games last season due to a shoulder issue, only starting two. When members of the Nittany Lion football team were allowed to freely transfer, Bruce Feldman noted Arizona State was pursuing Kline. He will miss a significant amount of time.

According to multiple reports, CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman claims that Arizona State is pursuing Penn State freshman linebackers Ben Kline and Nyeem Wartman.

Kline redshirted last year while Wartman was entering as a true freshman. The Sun Devils run a base 4-3 defense similar to Penn State and are set to start two seniors and a junior at the linebacker position. However, their lack of young depth could appeal to the two Nittany Lions mentioned. Wed, Jul 25, 2012 12:28:00 PM
